    I have 5 drives I keep for backup purposes in case one of the drives in my laptops bites the dust.
    Are they new NO
    Do they function properly YES
    Should I destroy the ones with a bad sector NO
    That is why the SMART firmware system was created in the first place.
    A Bad sector on ESDI, SCSI, MFM/RLL drives was a real problem but not so much with the new tech drives.
    The above is my findings from many years of hands on experience not just something I googled up.
